Bergamot essential oil is a powerful tool for stabilizing the emotions and planting our feet firmly on the earth, particularly in cases of excess.
It has a tonic and reviving effect on the mood, especially in the case of neediness or lack of affection. Its sweet and fruity aroma plays a pivotal role in increasing our self-esteem, in raising our spirits, and in increasing our awareness. Its solar component, not easily dimmed, infuses us with joy and courage.
It can be used in the evening for helping with sleep and avoiding nightmares. Bergamot eliminates blockages, restoring sensual pleasures, as well as the pleasure of giving oneself to others, in the quest for peace.
Bergamot brings light, joy, and happiness to the darkest of places and, perhaps for this reason, it is called the Oil of paradise.
